It is reported that UK financial regulators are urgently assessing the risks associated with Anthropic’s latest AI model, Claude Mythos, following its release, which reportedly identified thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities in major operating systems and web browsers. Discussions involve the Bank of England, the Financial Conduct Authority, HM Treasury, and the National Cyber Security Centre, with plans to warn leading banks, insurers, and exchanges about potential cyber security threats. This response comes after US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent convened Wall Street bank leaders to address the model’s capabilities to detect vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors. The implications of Mythos are set to be discussed in the upcoming meeting of the UK’s Cross Market Operational Resilience Group, which includes representatives from major financial institutions and regulatory bodies.
